Decide Which Standards Compliance Level to Target

12.2 Development Standards for Custom Code

Minimal Full

• Optional, additional standards must be met for custom code to be Online Patchable

• Required, minimal set of standards must be met for custom code to run correctly on 12.2

• Decision is based on importance of minimizing downtime • In either case, EBS Patches are always applied online


Identify Standards Violations and Recommended Fixes

Reports to Check for Standards Compliance

Summary Readiness Report Custom DB schemas you must register with EBS before Online Patching Enablement

Manual Fix Readiness Report Custom DB objects you must manually fix before Online Patching Enablement

Database Standards Checker DB objects and code that violate 12.2 development standards

File System Standards Checker File system source files that violate 12.2 development standards

Sysadmins are already familiar with WebLogic Server IF using these:

Get Familiar with WebLogic Server 11g

Oracle Access Manager 10gR1, 11gR1 11gR1

Oracle Internet Directory 11gR1 11gR1

Oracle SOA Suite 11gR1 11gR1

Enterprise Manager 11gR1, 12cR2 11gR1, 12cR2

98


Plan for Related Systems Changes

• A good time to change OS platform is at an EBS upgrade

• 12.2 is certified only on 64-bit operating systems

• 12.1 is certified on both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems – Increasingly, modern hardware doesn’t come with 32-bit OOTB

• See “Oracle E-Business Suite Upgrades and Platform Migration” (1377213.1)

If Currently on 32-bit OS, Upgrade to 64-bit OS

99


Plan for Related System Changes

• 11i, 12.1.3, and 12.2 are certified for 11gR2

• EBS 12.2 requires database 11gR2 or later

• Apply latest certified patch set (e.g. 11.2.0.4 or 12.1.0.2) plus additional prerequisite patches

• See Database Preparation Guidelines for Release 12.1 Upgrade (761570.1)

• See Database Preparation Guidelines for Release 12.2 Upgrade (1349240.1)

Upgrade to Database 11gR2 Before or During Your EBS Project

100


Plan for Related System Changes

• Switch from Oracle Single Sign-On to Oracle Access Manager 11gR2 – 12.2 is certified only with Oracle Access Manager 11g

– OAM 11gR2 (11.1.2) is certified for 11i and 12.0/12.1.3

– See: “Overview of Single Sign-On Integration Options for Oracle E-Business Suite” (1388152.1)

• Switch from Oracle Portal to Oracle WebCenter Portal

– 12.2 is certified only with Oracle WebCenter Portal

– Oracle WebCenter Portal 11gR2 (11.1.1.6) is certified for 12.0/12.1.3

Switch these External Services (Required for 12.2)

101


Consider New Operational Characteristics

• Downtime windows are now measured in minutes – What operations besides patching do you perform during downtime?

– Can these operations be performed while the E-Business Suite is online?

• New development standards for online patching compliance

– New utilities to help identify and correct compliance issues

– Advice on how to fix objects that are not compliant

• Patches still need to be tested on a test system – Patch Edition is not a test environment

– Users cannot connect to the Patch Edition

All Patches Delivered Post-12.2 are Online Patches
